C13 Controlling the Chess Player

As the messenger entered the palace, every step Mo Yan took, the words "A cunning rabbit dies, a dog is cooked" lingered in his mind.

In the throne room, Loong Yin sat on his dragon throne and looked down at Mo Yan. He could not see the emotions on his face, but the surrounding atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Mo Yan walked up to the front of the throne room and bowed to Loong Yin, "Your subject, Mo Yan, greets the Emperor."

Loong Yin covered the unhappiness in his eyes, but his lips were still curled up. "Mo Yan, tell me, what did you gain from the trip to Su Province a few days ago?"

Mo Yan paused for a moment and frankly said, "Reporting to the Emperor, other than admiring the Emperor's strategy, this official does not dare to think too much about the rest."

Loong Yin looked at Mo Yan and brought up the old matter again, wanting to make Mo Yan feel some fear.

"Mo Yan, what kind of temperament do you have? Zhen is the one who knows best. Although you are the empress dowager's nephew, I have never taken any precautions against you."

Mo Yan was speechless.

Loong Yin knew that Mo Yan was still unwilling to give up the biggest problem he had left behind in Suzhou.

"Mo Yan, I know that the purpose of you helping Lee Yuhan's servant is to test whether or not I have spies by your side."

After a long silence, Mo Yan finally said, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the Emperor."

Loong Yin pondered for a moment. He was somewhat surprised that Mo Yan was still able to enter Su Province.

Logically speaking, the city gate of Suzhou was heavily guarded by him and there was even a portrait of Lee Yuhan pasted on it. The two of them should not be able to enter.

Unless someone told Mo Yan that there was a chain that led to the messy graves in the west of the city.

Loong Yin asked directly, "There is a secret passage in Suzhou. Zhen and the former State Advisor, Yuu Qing, both know about it. I don't know how you found out about it."

Mo Yan did not plan to hide it. "It was Lee Yuhan who guided me, but Lee Yuhan did not interfere in the whole matter from the beginning to the end."

"Zhen can guess." "Yuu Qing must have told you something that made you hate Zhen."

Mo Yan looked up and looked at Loong Yin seriously. "Emperor, this official only wants to ask a question. I don't know if the Emperor is willing to answer."

"But there is no harm in saying it."

"Did you send someone to kill Prefectural Governor Xu Huasheng of Suzhou?"

"No," Loong Yin said.

Seeing Loong Yin deny it, Mo Yan took out the ledger he had picked up from the messy cemetery in Suzhou.

"Emperor, in front of this allocation account book, all of the officials who died in the court, tell this official that the dam by the river collapsed. Did you do it on purpose?"

Loong Yin,... ""

"This official has already gotten the answer..."

Mo Yan suppressed the anger in his chest and took off the official hat from his head. "Grass people Mo Yan, you look down on the heavens and contradict the Holy Emperor. You are willing to be punished."

The veins on Loong Yin's forehead were bulging. His heart was burning with anger. He glanced at Loong Yin with his phoenix eyes and saw that he was so self-aware. It was the right time to push the boat along with the current.

"From today onwards, Mo Yan will be removed from his official position and demoted to a commoner. He will never be able to enter the Imperial Court!"

"Freak people, thank you for your kindness, Lord..."

Mo Yan, who had just walked out of the palace, finally understood the deep melancholy in Yuu Qing's eyes when he mentioned his resignation.

What Yuu Qing was worried about was not only for the common people, but also the turbulent situation that Loong Yin was in.

He did not know how Loong Yin would protect the Great Tang under the greedy eyes of the Xiongnu.

Now, he had already eliminated the Left Prime Minister and dealt with the old officials left behind by the late emperor. With every step he took, Loong Yin could be said to be meticulous and interconnected.

But if he continued according to this situation, then perhaps the other vassals would definitely cause trouble for the sake of protecting their lives.

They would even join hands with the Xiongnu army to overthrow Loong Yin's regime!

If it really reached that stage, Chen Xiaowu would not be able to escape misfortune.

Mo Yan suddenly shivered and cold sweat appeared on his back.

This was the reason why Loong Yin was determined not to remove Chen Xiaowu's official position. He must have thought of this. At that time, he would definitely use Chen Xiaowu as a scapegoat!

This was not good...
